My system defaulted to all high graphics, and i left it there - its running nice and smooth. (not sure if DX9 or DX10 tho)

Memorable moments so far:

* Setting a chicken on fire, and then running like hell as the whole friendly base caught alight from it.
* firing a rocket at an oncoming jeep, to have the flaming debris fly up and smack me in the face. My "best buddy" then came in and dragged me from the wreckage
*driving into what i thought was a friendly town, until they all started ramming me in their cars and shooting at me. Flamethrower solved that problem

This game does sound good to be honest and i am looking for another game. I resorted to digging my copy of X3: Reunion and after flying around for 5 minutes straight and not getting anywhere I remembered why I put it at the bottom of the box.
How does this game compare to Crysis for example? i.e will i be able to play it on my computer?

did you try geforce driver 180.42 Beta... if not try it its improve farcry2 FPS

Just for shits and giggles last night i tried to download the game to see how bad the seeds/peer ratio was and what my d/l speed would be. I got 0.7kB/s down and up on the torrent and it would have taken me 2 years to d/l.

lol. With all the different images on the trackers I wish people would have just use one or two files like Assassins Creed with the 6000+ seeders before the game was even released. Ironically the cracked/nuked version played better than the retail version I got for my bday.

Well if you have a 512mb 4870 it might just not have the ram available to load the large textures. If is stutters @ lower resolutions then I would assume your right about the driver though. Maybe a good round of defragging will help also.

No. i heard those drivers break the level editor in the game, and i intend to play with that.

latest thing i've found amusing: hovercraft on the rivers. With a sniper rifle
The enemy boats catch up behind me and start shooting, i have enough time to get off the seat, turn around and snipe the enemy gunners before the boat loses momentum... and just keep on going. makes it a lot faster than walking everywhere!

Be warned, there is a serious activation issue with this game. I have never ran into an issue in this manner. it allows you to add your key then says its not able to activate. Steam forums say ubisoft is reactivating a ton of keys I guess, but it just makes me wonder WTF they were thinking releasing bunk keys!

I have contacted suport and looked in the forums and so far there are no answers, I hope to hall they get this sorted FAST.
